You know what would be a great way to celebrate Mamdani’s historic win?
Donate to a food bank. Give to community fridges. Call and check on your disabled or elderly neighbour and see if they need groceries.
SNAP still hasn’t been funded and people need help now.

This is a staggering amount of money. It’s bigger than the Department of Transportation spending on all infrastructure. It’s bigger than all of the federal R&D done for both the military and all federal science agencies. Disgusting.
Where we are as a country:
"The funding in the bill will make ICE the largest jailer in the world, with $200 billion at their disposal."

This isn’t just wasteful. It’s theft from our movement. Every dollar that goes to these operations is a dollar not going to real organizers, real campaigns, and real people doing the "strategic organizing" and "fearless advocacy" that these scam PACs claim to be doing.

if you're trans or black or muslim, everything you do is considered political, but if you're a christian terrorist, you're just an apolitical part of The System (derogatory)
This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings
Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument.

Hours after @pbump.com posted this today, ICE updated its figure to 500%.

ICE has been taking the position nationwide that its field offices, and the detention cells therein, are not facilities "operated by or for [DHS] used to detain or otherwise house aliens," on the argument that the facilities are "processing areas" and therefore not covered detention facilities.

These people aren’t afraid Mamdani would be a bad mayor. We have a ridiculous, corrupt, incompetent mayor right now and the city is hanging in OK. They’re declaring all-out war because they’re afraid Mamdani (or Lander) might be a good mayor.
Having one of the richest people in America (Bloomberg) funding millions of dollars in ads bashing you really matters. Rich people promising to cut jobs from New York if you win also hurts. www.thefp.com/p/escape-fro...

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

See this is what I mean. Mississippi is a state with a 40% Black population. African American candidate Mike Espy garnered nearly 45% of the vote in the 2020 General Election for the U.S. Senate.

He did so at the behest of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a neo-Confederate organization that espouses “Lost Cause” ideology, which whitewashes the role of slavery in the Civil War. 🧵
